Then we select the file server option and Remember this option needs to be available on every node that will hold the file share. If you do not have the Role selected go to roles and select the fileserver option along with the options you want. In my case I select almost all the options so extra options will show up in the configuration.

Now that we have selected the Role and we are giving this fileserver a netbios name and an static IP and a Disk that hold the files / shares/

Now that the file server is completed but the disk is not showing any shares. We are making shares on this disk along with several other options.

In the failover cluster manger go to the file server and right click add shared folder. this opens a new Wizard

Give your folder a share name and choose if you want to set extra permissions on NTFS.

You can do this also later.

During to role selection I did also select the DFS and NFS so in the screen are more options this way you can see what options there are if you use this role. remember there is a advanced button. most of you are forgetting this and ask them where to set this option. Well here :

In the advanced option you can set the max users and enable access based enumeration in the next screen you can select no caching for offline folders ( I don’t like this ) so I turn this off

and give access to admins or users. I do not have a DFS in place so I leave this screen empty
